THQ Offers Extra Content With Pre-Orders of Darksiders II Through the THQ Store

THQ announced earlier today that those who pre-order the upcoming Darksiders II via the shopTHQ store will automatically get their copy upgraded to the Darksiders II Limited Edition set and will receive the second and third DLC pack at zero cost. The Limited Edition set includes the first DLC pack, Argul’s Tomb, which becomes available for everyone else a month after the game ships.

Pre-ordering through the shop also rewards gamers with codes to the Maker’s Armor and Scythe set. Extra content is always neat-o, right Jim?

“We are excited to be able to reward customers who pre-order the game via shopTHQ with this great incentive,” Jim Huntley, vice president of global brand marketing, said in enthusiastic agreement. “Not only will they get a unique armor set at launch, but they will also get significant free content for months to come.”

As a final note, we have been told that shopTHQ still has a limited number of Darksiders II Collector’s Edition sets, which include the Limited Edition as well as a life-sized replica Death Mask and display stand, as well as some other goodies, all for $99 USD.

Darksiders II is scheduled to be available for console and PC in August 2012.
